Nothing unique, worn-out furniture, bedding terrible, you sink into the mattress and worst of all one elevator for the whole hotel floor, size of a football field, although acknowledge breakfast as surprisingly cheap, room service had a very limited menu, stay in Holiday Inn whenever I am in USA , and it is perfect, this time it was a complete disappointment, room telephone did not wok an despite my three requests was not fixed, the soap was surprisingly of good quality.

Had major issues with the maintenance. My refrigerator and my kettle did not work. Called maintenance and they came to look but did not fix. Couldn’t understand what the guy was saying. Called three more times in the same day but got totally ignored. We had food items that needed to be refrigerated and had to throw away the next morning. Totally unsatisfying visit. Will not stay there again.

Clean hotel adiquate for a business stay

Arrived at the hotel late at night, my room wasn't available so we were transferred to a villa in a local compound for the first night. The following day I was upgraded to a room on the 3rd floor, unfortunately the room smelt of fresh paint, not nice. The lobby café has a good menu but none of the oven baked pasta was available. Good choice of food in the buffet restaurant and free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel.

Apart from a few grumpy members of the hotel spa staff, everybody else at the hotel was particularly friendly and helpful, always happy to please. This may not be the best location for a hotel, nor the best facilities, but the staff will try to make your stay as pleasant and enjoyable as they can, so I would certainly stay there again. And the facilities that they advertise were all in place and clean and working.

Lack of Coordination

I booked prepaid for 3 nigths with confirmation but when i arrived at the hotel. I was informed that i dont have reservation. I was shocked because everything has been arrange and paid and i just to be told that i dont reservation. Since i arrived in evening and i wont be able to sort it out until next day. The receptionist booked as walk in guest and took my credit card as guarantee. Reservation and reception is not so helpful in sorting the issue. Been booking Hotels.com for sometime but this is the first ever happened like this.

Good hotel but slow staff service

I stayed with a couple of friends and it was a pleasant experience. The rooms were clean and house keeping staff was prompt in their reply. However, the staff at the reception was slow and took a long time for check-in and check-out.

Room smelled like dirty public washroom.

washroom smelled like urine for days. Had to DEMAND that they actually mop the floor. Room smelled like the sewer backed up. cold shower for a week. Every guest had to observe fasting.

slightly lower than a cheap motel in USA.

I usually stay in the Holiday Inn in Al Khobar when I am on business in Saudi Arabia but, as it was Ramadan this was not the usual excellent stay I have experienced in the past. I understand and accept that Ramadan is a very special time in Saudi but, non Muslim visitors like myself do not appear to be catered for during this period. On my first morning in the hotel I was informed that the restauratnt was closed because of the fasting period and that I would have to go to the executive suite where breakfast could be had. When I got there there was no coffee, no fruit juice and only bread for toast available. Hardly a meal to set me up for the day. In the evening I was advised that the restuarant had been hired for a private party and I was advised that my colleague and I would have to go to the \"ballroom\" around the front of the hotel to get a meal. We went around and spoke with one of the managers (who did not speak English) and he then directed us via a door back to the reception area. Not a very good impression of a customer facing manager. As I stated above, I accept that during Ramadan non Muslims have to make certain allowances but the Holiday Inn did not make me feel as though they had made allowances for me and business men who are non Muslim like me during this special time.

Holiday Inn Al Khobar

In one night, this hotel became my favorite hotel to stay in when I'm visiting the Dammam, Saudi Arabia area. The room was immaculate, the hotel lobby well lit and very clean (I notice these things) and the staff very helpful, but not overpowering. The restaurant was very clean, service was great and the food just wonderful. While they had a buffet for dinner, I was tired from traveling and just felt like ordering from the menu, ordering from the menu caused no problems.
I usually stay at a Holiday Inn whenever they are available and this one certainly rates my highest recommendation.
When I needed a car to take me somewhere, it was done. The car was clean (I notice these things) and the driver was knowledgeable of the area.
This is a good choice for staying in the area.

最初に案内された部屋はメイクアップされておらず、すぐに部屋を替えてもらいました。
次の部屋はバスタブの栓がなく、シャワーも水量の半分以上は蛇口から出てしまう状態でした。
湯船には浸かるつもりがなかったので、ハウスキーパーが来た際にシャワーの修理を依頼しても、最初はショボショボと出る様子を見て「これじゃダメなの？」と言う始末。即刻ダメ出しして、修理させました。
同行者の部屋でも、室温調節が壊れていて20℃から上がらず(つまり冷房が全開)、やはり別の部屋に替えてもらったとのことでした。
全体的に施設のメンテ不足が目立ちます。
